I have a herb bed in front of the kitchen and when I need a certain spice for my food, it is not far away. My rosemary started to flower in January and is still forming new flowers. I have had this plant at least 20 years and it is still going strong.
Yours looks great. I had mine for 20 years and I don’t know what got to it, but it very slowly started dying. My neighbor gave me cuttings of her plant, but I do miss rosemary in my garden.
Can you bend a stem to the ground to root it before it dies? If you bury a stem, or a few, while still attached to the original plant, and with the tip sticking up out of the soil, it should develop roots. The technique is ‘layering’. Trailing rosemary does it on its own, so if the original plant dies, the rooted stems continue to grow.
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

It’s mazing how it survives the cold Winters here in Switzerland with the snow

I didn’t know about this. Thanks, Tony. I am going to try it with the plant my neighbor gave me.
